Donald’s Topics
Based on his books, “The Code of the Executive” and “High Altitude Leadership”, Don Schmincke focuses this unique session on an issue personally dear to the CEO’s heart – how to increase revenues and lead extraordinary performance in their organization. When the organization functions effectively, the CEO has more fun, strategy executes, and the bottom-line improves. Yet most CEOs are frustrated with the level of results produced by their organization, or the politics, hidden agendas, and other dysfunctional behaviors sapping organizational vitality. This topic offers a refreshing approach for cynical and jaded CEOs tired of flavor-of-the-month theories.
This program, a follow-up to Part 1: Ancient Secrets, is designed to implement high-performance team processes directly into Vistage groups. Born from Don Schmincke’s experience turning around his own struggling Vistage group, it helps groups in crisis or those looking to reach the next level. The program focuses on uncovering the group’s true purpose, understanding its current state, aligning on a higher vision, and developing actionable frameworks for results both within the group and in members’ businesses. It also includes tools and processes for improving group dynamics and operational agreements.
